This blog began several years ago as a narrative of our efforts to lead a sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle in the middle of our city. It still is, although our city has changed from Raleigh to Boise and we now are working diligently on restoring the family homestead in Montana.
The blog is also a chronicle of our lives together as a married couple, marriage being a sort of homesteading in itself.

We got our first snow of the year this morning. It was supposed to be a "wintry mix" of sleet and freezing rain, but instead we got about an inch of snow. It won't last long because our ground is so warm from our recent 70+ degree days, so I took some photos while it is still hanging around.
